How TO MAKE A hloUsE TROT.-My
own practice Is, without pretending to
the knowledge of professional trainers,
to let the horse a good deal alone. I
presume I do not take the reins In both
hands once in three months, so far as
need of strength goes, when I am driv
Ing on the road. Of course there are
soine horses that we must make trot if
they ever trot at all; I for one do not
desire to have any thing to do with
that sort of horses. But kive me a
horse that is a natural trotter, and I am
sure he w%,ill never go exce)t in a trot,
itnless by reason of some )ain in his
foot or somewhere else, that may cause
him to break. In that case the best
way is to let him alone. I am dilving
a live-year-old colt that Is fast. If he
breaks, I let him run. After he has
been running six or eight rodts, I hint
to him that it is Just as fashionable for
him to strike his trot, and, if he does
not take that hint, in a little while, I
give him another. - But I don't yank
him, or jerk hln, '"pull him bick,'"
"settle him down,'' "square him," as
they say, and all those other excellent
phrases that do not mean anything.
Tie colt means to trot, and I know it,
and If frr some inaccountable cause
he breaks, I know the habit naturally
implanted In him will get him back to
his trot just as quick as he can. A
horse cauni not run awhile and catch
himlilself suddenly, without hurting
himself; so lie will take another Jump
or two. When he has Jumped two or
three times, I give a little touch to the
reliis. suggesting tj him that lie maiay
as well trot. lie generally knows
what I mean, but if lie don't 1 tell him
again, and pretty soon I find him going
along with hiis tail as straight as a
spirit-level. I never on such a horse,
use at cheek rein, never put on martin
gales, but let lim go, head up) and tail
streaming. These are the rudders in
tended to keep the horse tr'ue In Ihis
galt, and11 you !ave no right to deprive
himn1 of his stqerinzg apparatus. Aud
so the rule is, that the Ih ;e, if lie is
a sensible, level-headed horse, kuows
a great deal ilore than you (10 about
trotting, and11 you shoutld let himiii have
his own way. This is my bost advice,
briely put, Iin regara to driving.

way to tighten wagon tires to be sue

straight cut from I lie sioles to the outer
edges of the pieces, so as to formi open
rings. The holes imust be made of a
size that will nicely fit the tenons on
